He looked forward to the Woodward Dream Cruise in August of every year, where he would drive his Grand National or ’76 Cadillac, his “Banana Boat”. Some years he preferred to just watch the cruise with his children. Over the years he shared his love for cars with anyone who would listen. While sons Michael and Marcus were young, he shared his knowledge as a mechanic with them. Over the years, they have passed much of this knowledge on to younger brothers Joseph and Jean-Paul. He had a love for music, particularly Gospel and Blues. He listened to music faithfully and talked about how God blessed him to be free. If you knew him, you know he would often use the phrase, “It’s all about the Supreme Being”.
